While the political landscape in Virginia is in earthquake mode following revelations that Democratic Attorney General candidate Jay Jones exchanged texts three years ago that then-Republican state House Speaker Todd Gilbert deserved “two bullets to the head,” Everytown for Gun Safety is lockjawed about having contributed $200,000 to Jones’ campaign in August.

According to the Washington Free Beacon, the big bucks contribution was made Aug. 26, when the billionaire-backed Everytown—the richest gun prohibition lobbying group in the nation—declared Jones to be among its “Gun Sense Candidates.” While the announcement is nowhere to be found at the Everytown website, the Virginia Public Access Project (VPAP) was smart enough to save the campaign finance report and posts it here.
The National Review reported that Jones exchanged the “disturbing” text messages on Aug. 8, 2022 shortly after resigning from the Virginia legislature. The text exchange was reportedly with Republican Delegate Carrie Coyner.
The revelation has resulted in calls for Jones to quit the campaign. Jones has issued a statement claiming to be “embarrassed, ashamed, and sorry” for his comments, but he hasn’t quit, and Everytown has yet to explain its world-class hypocrisy.
